You Know You're Stuck in the 80's If...
I've decided to add what people send in at the TOP of the list from now on, so here goes nothing.

Here’s some more from Gail Goodhand. Thanks Gail!

You can remember the name Kari being used BEFORE Digimon.

You think Gundam Wing is a obvious Transformers rip-off.

You remember Adam Sandler from Remote Control, not "Happy Gilmore".

If the name Starscream means anything to you.

If you shout, "It's Optimus PRIME, not Optimus PRIMAL!"

If you've ever seen the ORIGINAL Land Before Time. (I've seen all 7...)

If you know who sang the theme to Pee-wee's Playhouse. (It was Cyndi Lauper; she wasn't mentioned in the credits)

If you think Hulk Hogan is the best wrestler of all time.

If the best non-slasher movie in your opinion is An American Werewolf In London.

If you can recall the most famous commerical line of all time. (It's either "Where's The Beef?" or "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!"

Two words: The Clapper.

Six words: "This is your brain on drugs."

You spent days thinking of ways to builder a bigger, better treehouse.

When you saw luging at the Winter Olympics you poured water down your driveway and tried it yourself.

King of the mountain meant coming in from recess soaking wet.

Four square was a game of strategy.

Dodgeball, trench and war were games for boys only.

A piece of folded paper and two hands could tell your fortune.

You could buy a whole bag of candy for a quarter at Ben Franklin's.

You have memories or for the McDonalds McDLT sandwich or you can from heart recite the ingredients and how to make it. (Big Mac, McDLT, QuarterPounder w/some cheese...you know the rest)...

A sleeveless T-shirt and a pair of rolled up jeans and something that was a chain for a motorcycle is considered to make you a bad ass

Constant ducking reflex action every time you pass through a door cause you still remember the days you hair stood taller then you

Spandex is a object of everyday wear and not only for exercise.
